Question 03 tb no start problems

Two mornings ago my tb did the same thing as a previous posting. Everything works but it would not turn over. I tried the various remedies, key in run position for 10 to 20 min., disconnected the battery for 20min., and locked the doors and waited 5min.. None of this worked. Called the dealer and they came and got it . 2 hours later they called and said it was a bad cell in my battery. $225.00 later (including the tow) I was up and running. I did keep the old battery. Then this morning the same thing happend again!!!! Very upset, i used a multi meter and checked both batteries. 12.5 volts each. hes anyone figured out the problem????
Thanks,
Paul

Question similar deal

Same deal with mine today, went to pick it up from deal because the 4wd went out, told them of the start when it feels like it problem. They said they fixed it. When I went to pick it up, it started right up, went to leave the car lot, it died and wouldn't start up again. Service guy had a call in to GM, needless to say, i had to leave it there.....

I also am experiencing TB no start problems. Three times now. Towed to dealer. First two times it started for the dealer. The third time it would not start when it arrived at the dealer, but started for them the next day. The battery was replaced after the second episode by the dealer. When the problem arises, the rest of the electrical system performs normally. The dealer says that they can't figure it out unless it comes in dead. No trouble codes showed up with diagnostics. This is my wife's car and we're leery about taking it on a long trip.

I have seen a few TB/Envoys with faulty ignition switches causing your concern.
The problem is that with the concern being intermittant it is difficult to diagnose the cause without getting the symptoms to occur.
